Easy on the ears
Richie•January 17, 2018
Have had this compressor for almost 3 years and it is still running strong, with no malfunctions yet. I use it for airing tires, blowing off work with an air gun, and spraying paint with an hvlp gun.
Pros:
-Relatively quiet compressor. Sound pulses are low frequency with less "slap" than other belt driven compressors I've used. Easy on the ears, and won't bug your neighbors!
-Can be easily moved around on a level floor.
-Charges to full pressure in a couple minutes from empty.
-holds air for long periods, meaning no leaks.
-nice tires and vibration dampers.
- nice wrinkle powder coat finish that still looks good.
Cons:
-slightly restrictive regulator, can't drive a 1/2" impact gun with any power. Need to upgrade to a 3/8" regulator for more airflow.
- position of drain valve is pure silliness. Instead of being directly on the bottom, it is to the side, so it won't fully drain the condensate unless you tip the compressor toward the drain.
-a little top heavy, but all these compressors are.
I'll update again after upgrading the regulator.
